Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Building Liberty" by Susan Yoder Ackerman.

As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America and Friendship & Family as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
